Most spots are gravel and some sites are double like the one I have..but overall not bad..some frontage spots are close to the river but not shady..This makes my 2nd time here..No dumpsters for trash..So you pack it in pack it out This campground is in the Shawnee National Forest..and volunteers run it by keeping the grass mowed..and keeping fire pits cleaned out..Donations accepted but not required for keeping campground clean..

Free camping is hard to believe. But this is a legit place. Clean animals welcome friendly care taker. Bring a generator if you must have electricity cuz there is none.

A great place to hang out for the weekend plenty of fishing hunting great for tents and campers there is a spring-fed water on 3 before you come in

Love this place our kids have grown up here. The gental man that takes care of this place is very nice. Yes it’s a little ways back from the highway but close enough to town to get anything you need. We have meet a lot of nice people over the 20 plus years we have camped here. Best thing about the Friends of the Bayou is now we get watch our granddaughter grow up here to.

Questions & Answers

Can you swim there or just fish?

The short answer is no you cannot. There are no signs anywhere saying this but it is a river with a moving current. There are many underwater obstructions not to mention people's fishing lines and hooks that someone could get entangled in. Is not a safe place to be getting in the water especially for kids
